Shovel Knight Update Due Today, Bigger Update Planned For Future

Yacht Club games have revealed that the first update for Shovel Knight on the Wii U should be released at some point today. The details of what this update includes are a little sparse but will include a fix for a soft lock with Tinker Knight. The same update for the 3DS version of the game is also in development but not quite ready for release just yet,

A further Tweet has revealed that the next update is already in the planning stages and is set to be much bigger in scope. This next update will work across all platforms and address common issues and requests the team have received thus far.

Working on following that up with a larger patch for all platforms shortly after to address common issues, requests, and concerns!

Shovel Knight was released as a Nintendo console exclusive on June 26th 2014 on the North American Wii U & 3DS eShop. The debut game from Yacht Club Games, a team made up of ex-Wayforward employees, has to date received unanimous acclaim. A European release is planned for sometime later in 2014.

I’m the Developer Liaison at Nintendo Enthusiast, and when I’m not working my butt off at the toy store I manage, I’m talking with developers from around the world, promoting crowd-funding campaigns, conducting interviews and also offering advice and support to developers looking to bring their games to Wii U & 3DS.
